Did Justin Bieber write his new song ‘Ghosts’ for ex Selena Gomez?

Former flames Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez broke up years ago but talk of their past relationship has hardly died down.

Following the release of the Sorry hit maker's  new track Ghost, all fans were convinced that it was a tribute to his ex-girlfriend.

The song's lyrics read: "I miss your touch some nights when I'm hollow / I know you cross the bridge that I can't follow/ Since the love that you left is all that I get / I want you to know that / If I can't be close to you / I'll settle for the ghost of you / I miss you more than life / And if you can't be next to me / Your memory is ecstasy."

The singer's fans were quick to conclude that the track was an obvious hint at his past relationship with Gomez.

A social media user wrote: “Listen I'm not a jelena shipper and I'm not even one to throw selena into everything involving justin bc at the end of the day they're two separate people living two separate lives...but ghost screams selena like...SCREAMS her.”

One fan chimed in, saying: "'I want you to know that if i can't get close to you, i'll settle for the ghost of you.. i miss you more than life and if you can't be next to me your memory is ecstasy' you're telling me justin didn't write ghost about SELENA?!???? plz."

That being said, some fans were not onboard the idea as they refuted the theories and claimed that the song was perhaps about another loved one that Bieber lost.

"It's probably about his family members who have passed away, or it's just for the grief of COVID victims. I hate it when people still try to tangle them... I know I'm not the only one who's glad Jelena is COMPLETELY OVER!!!"he said.
